George Gently

Based on the classic detective novels by Alan Hunter, the series follows Detective Inspector George Gently (Martin Shaw), who, after the death of his wife, moves up North to solve one more case, but ends up staying. Partnered by Detective Inspector Bacchus they investigate cases in Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland and County Durham, in the swinging sixties and beyond. With their prickly relationship, that comes with warmth and humour, the pair are a winning police partnership and are joined by the feisty Detective Sergeant Rachel Coles.

For the final series we join DI George Gently in 1970. It’s the start of a new decade, Heath has just won a narrow victory for the Conservatives at the General Election on a platform of peace and prosperity by taking us into Europe. But there's radical change for women, political paranoia in the Cold War – and industrial unrest in the air.
